Mechanical Features Rifling Type: Method of operation Method of locking R. H. 6-Rib polygon barrel Gas Rotating Bolt Sights Combat sights Sight line radius, 215mm (8. 5") (6-inch barrel) 16 OPERATING PRINCIPLES Prior to firing the pistol, the bolt is locked by three lugs in the barrel assembly. Upon firing the pistol, propellant gases pass through a hole underneath the bore of the barrel into the gas cylinder and push the piston, which in turn moves the slide backwards. During this movement the bolt is unlocked and carried to the rear by the slide, but not before, the pressure in the chamber is reduced. When the bullet has left the barrel the empty cartridge case is extracted and ejected by the continuing movement of the slide and the bolt to the rear. At the same time, the slide pushes the hammer downward into the cocked position, where it is retained by the sear. 2 . 357/. 41/. 44 Magnum . 50 Action Express . 440 Cor®Bon The Desert Eagle Pistol--U. S. 1986 Forward Movement When the recoil springs expand, they drive the slide and bolt forward. During this movement the bolt cannot rotate due to the stabilizer pin which retains it. When the bolt scoops another round from the magazine and inserts it into the chamber, the locking lugs on the bolt come into contact with the recesses in the barrel and the bolt is rotated thus locking the cartridge in the chamber. Now the trigger bar is opposite the recess in the safety and can move upward, thus engaging the sear. When pulling the trigger, the sear releases the hammer which in turn hits the firing pin thus firing the chambered cartridge. 3) When the last cartridge is fired and the empty case is ejected, the slide is retained in its rear position by the slide catch. The catch releases the slide when depressed by hand or when the slide is pulled slightly to the rear. fig. 3 18 Safety Features The safety catch levers are located at the rear of the slide, just below the rear sight. When pushing the front end of the safety catch lever downward, the safety catch is engaged. In this position the firing pin movement is closed by the safety catch and the trigger bar, which is pushed down, cannot engage the sear, thus neutralizing the trigger (fig. It should be noted that due to the above features, it is not possible to engage the sear when the bolt is not locking properly. Due to the unique blocking of the firing pin by the safety, the pistol will not fire when dropped accidentally on its hammer or on its muzzle when the safety is properly engaged (on "SAFE"). fig. [. . . ] Make sure gas piston, springs, guides, plates, recoil spring, and channel of frame are free of lead deposits. TROUBLESHOOTING Failure to feed - pistol jams or bolt closes on empty chamber. Check if return spring is correctly assembled and free of lead deposits. Pistol jams shut Release barrel lock; if barrel does not move forward from slide, call service department. 37 Failure to chamber - Bolt does not close fully and gun will not fire. Field-strip, inspect, clean or replace if necessary. Failure to extract or eject - Pistol will not eject case or jams. [. . . ]
